CARTE DE LA PARTIE DE L’OCEAN Vers l’Equateur entre les Cotes D’AFRIQUE et D’AMERIQUE Où la Situation des Isles, Bancs, et Vigies, montre qu’elles peuvent être soit la cause des variétés observées dans les Courants de ces Mers; Dressées par Philippe Buach

An interesting geo-hydrographic map of the Atlantic Ocean and it’s islands. It is divided into two with one side showing the Atlantic Ocean and the coasts of Africa and Brazil and the other side a detailed examination of the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. A note top left explains the purpose of the map, which in brief is to give an idea of the variety of islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Another note top right explains a little about the cartographers and expedition members. Another explains about an embankment between islands on the archipelago. A cartouche top right contains a cross-section diagram of what is below sea level. Another below sea-level cross-section shows the particulars of Fernando de Noronha lower right corner.

Very good condition - slight dark patches to lower corners and repair to lower left margin. Some off-setting.
